Money Madness: The Championship Round
The Final Four came down to the wire but, in the end, two of my posts were left standing. FiveCentNickel narrowly (very narrowly) edged out NoCreditNeeded for one of the spots, and Raising4Boys defeated MyFinancialJourney for the other spot. These were the matchups:
Ten Simple Ways to Cover Your Ass(ets)
(barely) defeated
Avoid 10 Common Debt Reduction Mistakes
Teaching Kids the Value of a Dollar
defeated
The True Cost of Owning a Home
I’d like to thank everyone for their votes and support, and I’d also like to encourage you to drop by the Championship and cast your vote. Here’s the final matchup:
Ten Simple Ways to Cover Your Ass(ets) vs. Teaching Kids the Value of a Dollar

Hey that’s great, it was fun for me while it lasted. If you win, then the fact that you bested me stings less. Lol.
